About the author

Harold Morrow Sherman (1898-1987) was world renowned in the field of psychic research, and conducted experiments with such prominent persons as well-known Arctic explorer Sir Hubert Wilkins, ESP pioneer Dr. J.B. Rhine of Duke University, astronaut Edgar Mitchell, and many others. Apart from his research into mental telepathy and the mysteries of the mind, Sherman's lifelong writing career encompassed best-selling books on a variety of subjects ranging from sports stories for boys to books on self-help and the afterlife. He also wrote plays, several of which were produced on Broadway, and co-wrote the screenplay for several Hollywood films. For decades Sherman was a popular New Thought lecturer, and in later years hosted annual ESP workshops that drew such guests as Uri Geller, Arthur Ford, Gloria Swanson and many other big names. Not among the least of his accomplishments were his activities for the betterment of Stone County in Arkansas, his adopted state.

Reviews

[MaryAnn Carpenter]

I never heard of Harold M. Sherman, until I found the book Down The Ice. Copyright 1932
I rescue books, so when I saw a woman putting a box full of books out for recycling I stepped in.
In the rescue pile there were other treasures too.
Besides "Down The Ice" there was "Einstein On Peace by Nathan and Norden"
(Rebecca's Daughter's by Dylan Thomas)
In that box there were 22 books worth saving.
I have started "Einstein on Peace" I will let you know
what I think.

I was surprised when the book became instead of a novel, a collection of short stories. So, I did not "bond" with the characters. The stories were interesting enough; full of 1932 civilities and interesting, perhaps on how the young mens feelings of jealousy and inadequacy was harnessed to make them into local athletic celebrities/heros. I am not sure that such an approach would be considered so well these days.
